Swingworker question

[Ruben Demuynck]

hello,
I was wondering how to acces a variable in the outher class from an anonymous inner class. The code is like this:

SwingWorker sw = new SwingWorker(){
        public Object construct(){
     controller = new ControlHandler(clientsocket2,this);
     controller.start();
     return null;
}
};
sw.start();

The 'this' has to be the class in which the swingworker is created but in this example the 'this' is the anonymous swingworker class.
How do i acces the outer class??

There might be some trick way to get it using syntax similar to super.this, but I'm not familiar with it. How about this?

MyClass outerThis = this;
SwingWorker sw = new SwingWorker(){
        // ... or maybe it can be declared here instead?
        // MyClass outerThis = this;
        public Object construct(){
     controller = new ControlHandler(clientsocket2, outerThis);
     controller.start();
     return null;
}
};
sw.start();

in stead of outer.this its the name of the Outer class.this
in my case it was MainGui.this
